Dare To Be Different

Good Sunday morning all!  I started with a piece of Pixied Sparkled card that used Beyond Blue all over the card.  I used the Pebble stencil and embossed it first through the die cutting machine, then I used Black Soot distress ink lightly over the top of the stencil to highlight the pattern.  Next I stamped the zebra and cut it out.  I nipped away the frame from the die and replaced it with a black Clipped Corner Rectangle frame instead.  I stamped the sentiment from the Wild About You clear stamp set and added it inside the frame.  I cut the Postage Stamp Frames in black and nipped away one side of the frame to use as a border below the zebra.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/4"  x  8"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

  2. Hi Sue, here's a question, who doesn't love a zebra, that sweet face, their cute chatter and each has different stripes (I guess that's the reason behind the sentiment) cute and beautiful sample today Sue, to you and 'your keeper' and to all that visit today from me and 'my keeper' have a good day or evening xxx

    Good Morning Sue and all.
    I love it Sue. I have happy memories of visits to South Africa when three of my children lived there. Each time you give us a sample of one or more of the animals I just fly back and stay for a while.
    Thank you Sue.

  19. Hi Sue
    Happy Sunday everyone x
    What a striking card. I love all your safari stamps and the zebra is no exception. You have managed to capture such a wonderful expression and I don’t think I have seen many zebra cards at all ( if any) x
    Love the way you have created that border with the postage stamp frames - perfect x
    I know the weather is glorious but I am really struggling as the temperatures rising every day - am I the only one?

    Hi Sue,
    Wow, this is a stunning card, can't wait to get to the Zoo to see the Zebras 'in Person',
    unfortunately there are too many visitors at the moment for my liking - I'll wait until it all calms down a bit.
    Hugs
